So it is hardly a surprise many took delight in their rivals' downfall in the Champions League.

Much of the praise around Pep Guardiola's side this season has been deserved as they sit 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League table and have played some of the best football ever seen in the league.

However, some comparisons have seen them hailed the greatest team of all time - and the Blues were tipped to win the quadruple.

Wigan ruined those dreams by knocking them out of the FA Cup and they have a huge task if they are to stay in the Champions League after being beaten 3-0 by Liverpool in the first leg of their quarer-final clash on Wednesday night.

And United fans revelled in their struggles at Anfield, especially as 'the greatest attacking team of all time' didn't even register a shot on target against Jurgen Klopp's side.
